I was just making sure you guys saw this.. I don't know where most people get there scans from but i get mine from Blinktopia.. it seems as if Sleepyfans are trying to mess with their raw provider.. (I doubt this is the right area to put this in but i felt like it should at least be posted and made aware of)

this is from the blinktopia page.. newest naruto release..

This took long because I'm pissed off. Do you know why I'm pissed off? Let me tell you.

You guys enjoy Binktopia releases right? How would you feel if someone was intently trying to sabotage our ability to release in order for them to make profit? No I'm not talking about Bleach Exile, and no I'm not talking about NarutoFan. The one I'm talking about is SleepyFans.

It's bad enough that there's "someone" out there apparently paying a group of people to release anonymously under the mask of being a legitimate group, but when you start affecting the fans by forcing your stale translations and sub-par cleans on them... it's another thing.

Our raw provider (Manyou) was threatened today. The SleepyFans raw was given to a rival Chinese Group and they received the ultimatum to end their relationship with Binktopia if they wanted that to stop. I speak for the entire MangaShare, Binktopia and Manyou staff when I say - FUCK OFF.

We're not going anywhere in the foreseeable future, whether we have to release Jump manga today, tomorrow, or several days from now. No amount of tampering will change that, if anything, it will only motivate us more to embarass your group like we have the last 2 weeks.

If anyone has more info on this or just wants to comment.. thats cool.. I was just wondering what was up with it and thought i should pass it around here.. let people know what was going on..

Being the number one scan group is tough business and no one can be it forever. Bink came out from nowhere, took over some projects of other groups and now claims to be important.
I don't know about sleepyfans, but I can't see what's the problem with them. If they want to be the number one group, they have to use ugly methods to get the top resources, but that's how scanlating business is like today. Other groups would say the same about bink. I'm glad that I don't scan the most popular manga series out there like Narutard, Fairy Tail and Gantz, it would be too much stress...

Its about winning. You big ass noob.

Being number one is the most important thing in life. Its all about winning. If you do something you have to be the best in this thing.

Bluddshock, Mangashare, Binktopia were all the same crew, just fusioned with other groups over and over.
Atm Binktopia has the best cleaners, translators and is mostly really fast.
So they are not for nothing number 1 atm.

And sleepyfans, lol, I saw their releases... they are just really crap. The cleaning isnt as good as Binktopias and their translation isnt as sharp as theirs.
They are nowhere to even challenge Binktopia atm. Is see other groups being able to but not sleepyfans.

^ That's the retardest comment I ever read since I'm around ST. By chance, did you ever visit Binktopia's homepage? They're scanlators group running on money and donations like most of the big groups.

HQ raws cost money, translations cost money (especially when you want to publish earlier than everyone else).
Fame up your ass.
It's all about money you f***ing idiot. What did you the whole time? Leeching like the wet pussy you are? Did you ever worked on scanlating like others of the community?
Do you even know who tazmo is or ever heard about the anger about him stealing free scans and sell them for money?

You are the big ass noob. Now shut the f***k up damn leecher whore!

Yeah wetpussy don't leech anymore you whore!

kidding aside I guess the problem is probably through miscommunication and coordination between groups.

Yeah I read this. Binktopia do a good job, and they do it for free, and they do it fast.

These other parties keep popping up and pissing them off - I don't get it. Why people are going out of their way to piss off a group that's doing a good job is beyond me. Guess it does come down to money. Dicks.

@EightBall
Why dont you just die?
Kthbai.

@grandleo
you too pls. noob.

Bink is atm the best releasing group, and they are fast and do it for free.
Nobody has to donate, nobody has to donate to StopTazmo, but its helping out.
So Bink is the best and their staff DOES work for free.
They do it for the love, just as every other scan group, and they do it for being number 1.

So any flamer go to hell please.
